Full scan freezes computer

Running xp and just installed McAfee. Quick scan works fine but during full scan computer freezes when the scan examines the following file:

C:\windows\$NTUninstallKB925398_WMP64$\strmdll.dll

Any suggestions? TIA

Re: Full scan freezes computer

I assume that by McAfee you are talking about VirusScan.

Please install the latest VirusScan patch, reboot the computer and try to run the scan again.

PS: What version of VirusScan did you install? Are you running XP 64 bit?

Re: Full scan freezes computer

I also have an application 'freeze' when I do a full scan. I ran virtual technician several times with no errors reported. Then it reported an out of date DAT file after I had checked for updates. The problem persists. My initial error message is related to no full scan in the last 30 days.
